[QUOTE="gcvmom, post: 406247, member: 3444"] Mission accomplished! He finished the essay with about 15 minutes to spare before he had to leave for his check-in meeting at school. :whew: He found out he got an A on his test last week, which was great for him and me to hear! He felt pretty positive about his performance on today's test as well. Funny thing, while he was polishing up the essay before printing it, he commented that he's never gotten a bad grade on a test or quiz -- he almost always gets A's or B's on those. I reminded him that he truly is a bright kid, and that his only downfall is in finishing assignments. So that is what we're working on the rest of this year. After he took a break for lunch and to relax, I had him map out the next round of assignments for the next week. I broke down the chapter reading into manageable chunks and he wrote down his tasks for each day. He's already finished today's work and I'm hoping tomorrow is equally productive. I'm glad husband has seen just how time-intensive my job is with the kids since he was home today! [/QUOTE]
